The same problem converges on a local, parallel run. I realize CFX does not support 64-bit yet, but had hoped for it to run. We made the change for the 64-bit version of the structures side. The rsh command tests pass and I took all of the spaces out of the path to no avail. I almost wonder if I need a 64-bit version of MPICH? Thanks for any help.

Re: Windows 64-bit, Distributed Parallel Run Issue

You should check the error message in the console window of cfx solver.

If you have the error message ("Terminal read: The handle is invalid."), You should update the rsh command by the hotfix from Microsoft.

See the following comments from Microsoft; When you use the RSH command on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 (SP2), the RSH command does not accept input that is piped from a file.

For example, this behavior occurs when you use the following command to read input from a text file instead of from the keyboard: rsh HostName -l User_Name Command < Input_File_Name.txt Note Command specifies the command that you want to run on the remote host.

Additionally, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following: Terminal read: The handle is invalid.

Re: Windows 64-bit, Distributed Parallel Run Issue

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, I have seen this on the 32-bit version, yet it still runs. I am not getting this error (yet) on the 64-bit. I found a MPICH for 64-bit Windows, may have to try that.
